Civilian/Matriarch vs Calimus Cudaclaw

[C Rushing]

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts? Either on the CUDA opening mechanism in general or an actual comparison of the "defensive capabilities" of these knives.

C,
I have owned a Civilian for quite a while now. I can't realy say much about it other than it's made well, it's beyond "scarry sharp" and it's serrated!!! I never use it for anything because I don't want to dull the serrations. When we have guests and the conversation turns to knives, it's quite often the Civilian they want to see!! I have only flicked the Cuda, a new one at our local knife shop. The Civilian has a much more solid FLICK!

Cuda Claw is nice, I liked it. Haven't tried the Civilian, so can't say much about it.

AVOID THE SEAHAWK. That knife sucks
